I value Brianne’s perspective here however my career trajectory is a counter example to her assertion. I wouldn’t be where I am without public speaking. We both can be right given our experiences. Forge your own path. Listen to lots of advice and disregard most of it.https://twitter.com/briannekimmel/status/1110363543147155461 …

Replying to @holtbt
I have to strongly agree with you. Public speaking has done nothing but help my career, and that includes speaking at a smaller scale prior to anything related to Netflix, Silicon Valley, or RxJS. It's helped me land work, get raises, and has been very beneficial.

Real mixed on this one. I've grown my career speaking, but sometimes it's been a total time suck. We run a speaker program at Firebase b/c without one we see a lot of burnout.

I do think it a certain point it can be too much. But a couple of talks a year? Totally fine, IMO.

Depends on the person. Talks added an undue amount of stress in my life. I find writing a blog post or recording a video of the same content to yield a better return on my time. From my perspective I want to use whatever medium can reach the most people, confs for me do not.

Completely agree. Although if I’m going to prepare a talk to record then I may as well do it at a conference because it’s a shared experience with the attendees. Your ideas proliferate with an engaged audience.

Also, personal connections is important. I may not be friends with you if it wasn’t for us meeting at JSConf ‘15 as speakers.
